Chapter 13 The Thirteenth Red Bean

His chest suddenly seemed to be grabbed by something, the pain was so painful that he couldn't help struggling, but he opened his eyes and woke up from the nightmare. Entrance point—— Yi Fei looked at her coldly, and said lightly, "Are you awake?" Only then did Jiang Chenyu remember that he jumped into the lake to find beads, and then his right leg suddenly cramped, and he sank.She quickly lowered her head to look at herself, and found that the clothes were still the same clothes, but somehow they had dried up, and the place she was in was still a painting boat. It seemed that the time in coma was not long, but in the dream just now, it seemed like the past For a lifetime so long.

Thinking of the dream just now, I couldn't help being in a trance again. Seeing her like this, Yifei smiled mockingly: "What? Did you dream about your lover?" Jiang Chenyu's face turned pale, did he say something he shouldn't have said in the nightmare?Just as his heart was palpitating, Yi Fei said again: "Don't worry, your good senior brother is out of suspicion, the fake eunuch has already confessed, he was the one who had an affair with Concubine Luo last night, and your good senior brother is just an unlucky scapegoat , just hit it." Jiang Chenyu raised her eyes, her thin eyebrows were slightly knit together.This explanation is completely unconvincing.

"Why did my senior brother go to the West Palace last night?" "When he was seeing a doctor for his father, at the beginning of his illness, his father, Wang Dao, was taken care of by Concubine Luo personally and recorded his daily diet. Concubine Luo wants that booklet." "And then you ran into that embarrassing thing? It wasn't his fault, why didn't you say it afterward?" Yi Fei lazily said: "I'm afraid Luo Guifei begged him for something. Since he agreed, in order to fulfill the promise, he can only conceal it to the end." Jiang Chenyu lowered his head and thought for a while, and when he raised his eyes again, his expression was extremely serious: "Do you think I will believe this reason?"

Yi Fei looked at her, and after a while, he grinned: "What a coincidence, I don't really believe it. However, such a reason is good enough for other people." Jiang Chenyu thought to himself, there are many mysteries in this, and if we go deeper, I am afraid that more people and a bigger conspiracy will be involved. Therefore, for some people who do not want to be involved, this is indeed the last good truth.In other words, even if there are other inside stories, even if they are clarified and discovered, they may only rot in the stomach and cannot be leaked. As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but raised her hand and pinched the earlobe, and as soon as she pinched the earlobe, she suddenly remembered something, and her complexion changed again: "Erzhu..."

Too bad, the ear beads are still in the lake! Sitting up and about to fall to the ground, Yi Fei pushed her back, looked at her with a smile and said, "What are you doing?" "Let go of me, I'm going to find..." "Looking for this?" Yi Fei suddenly had something extra in his right hand, and shook it in front of her eyes. Jiang Chenyu took a closer look, wasn't it the poisonous bead bestowed by Zhao Yin? "You... helped me get it back?" Yi Fei chuckled, raised his arm suddenly, and threw the bead out of the half-open window again.Jiang Chenyu was startled, and said anxiously: "You!"

He just said a word, but saw that bead appeared in his hand again, and continued to shake it. Yi Fei looked at her sluggish expression, and said with a smile, "It's interesting to see you are in a hurry." Jiang Chenyu knew she had been fooled, so she immediately lowered her face and said nothing.Yifei knew that she was angry, so he stopped teasing her, handed the beads back to her hand, got up and went to the window, and pushed the windows open one by one. The breeze blew in, and the veil fluttered gently. He stared at the rippling lake outside, and suddenly said, "Mr. Yu, join hands with me."

Jiang Chenyu was startled. Yi Fei's sleeves were bulging with the wind, and he was flying backwards like butterfly wings. His face was very white in the gorgeous and colorful costumes, and his eyebrows were deep, and he no longer had the frivolous look before: " Look at the wind and clouds in the sky, the storm is coming, you and I are on the same boat, there is no escape. If we join hands, we will reach the other shore early." He said these words very sincerely, Jiang Chenyu was silent for a while after hearing this, and then replied: "I am just a mere drug girl."

Yi Fei suddenly laughed, turned around, looked at her, and said slowly: "I don't think an ordinary drug girl would need an ear bead with a red poison." Jiang Chenyu's fingers trembled, the small and smooth bead suddenly became as heavy as a thousand catties in her hand. Yi Fei added: "And an ordinary drug girl doesn't need two top masters to hide and follow her." The poison bead became so hot in her hand that she could hardly hold it. The boat was quiet for a while. Neither of them spoke anymore, only the wind blowing in in bursts, making his and her hair flutter non-stop.

After a long time, Jiang Chenyu raised his head again and said in a low voice, "What do you want me to do?" Yi Fei said seriously: "The first step, of course, is to find out what happened in the West Palace that night." Speaking of which, his eyebrows were raised mockingly again, and his voice became cynical again, "If I didn't You guessed wrong, besides your senior brother and Concubine Luo, there was a third person in the West Palace that night, and that third person was definitely not Fuchun." Jiang Chenyu thought of a certain possibility, as if to affirm her idea, Yifei said at the same time: "It's one of my two elder brothers."

A muffled thunder rumbled over, and the sky seemed to darken all of a sudden. Jiang Chenyu and Yifei looked at each other, and they both saw the same expression as themselves on each other's faces. I'm so stupid... Jiang Chenyu thought, since the incident happened, she only thought that Cheng Guo deliberately framed them, and only believed that Jiang Wanyi was wronged, but she never thought about it. At a special time, the candidate for the next King Cheng was also secretly determined.She can take on other missions, and so can Jiang Wanyi.That night in the West Palace, he was probably meeting Zhao Yin's favorite prince. Unexpectedly, Cheng Wang suddenly woke up in the middle of the night to look for him. In desperation, he had to use another scandal to cover up the conspiracy. It's good that things come to light and lead to the failure of enthronement.

She used to be a person who can see through one point, but now being reminded by Yi Fei, all the things that she couldn't figure out before suddenly became coherent and became clear.So, which prince does Zhao Yin intend to belong to? Is it Linsu?Or Han Qi? And this Yi Fei in front of him, how could he sit still and wait for death, could he also have the support of other countries behind him?Is it Yan Guo or Yi Guo who supports him? Just thinking of Yi country, he suddenly heard Shan Shui report from outside the cabin: "Third Highness, King Yi is here." Jiang Chenyu frowned subconsciously, could it be that He Yizhen and Yifei colluded?Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yi Fei gave her a sly smile: "Congratulations, the hero has come to save the beauty." She still didn't understand what it meant, so she heard He Yi's voice from afar outside asking: "Is Miss Ayu on the boat?" Yi Fei lifted the curtain and strode out, Jiang Chenyu heard him laughing at the bow of the boat: "I never thought that a mere medicine girl from the Bi Kingdom would have such a big face, please trouble King Yi to pick her up in person." He Yi also smiled and said: "Life and death are at stake, I have to come. To be honest, Xiao Wang still has old wounds that have not healed, and it has been treated by Miss Ayu's acupuncture. Now it's time for acupuncture again, Xiao Wang. The pain in Wang's whole body was unbearable, and he rushed to the post station anxiously, and he had no choice but to come here non-stop when he heard that Miss Ayu was in the residence of the Third Highness." Yi Fei said: "So that's the case, it really is a matter of life and death. If this is the case, I don't dare to keep Miss Yu any longer, and spoil His Majesty's important affairs. Your Majesty, please take her away." Hearing that he was willing to let her go, Jiang Chenyu quickly got up and went out, but saw that the boat had already rowed towards the lake, and He Yi was standing on the shore, dressed in red, smiling warmly. At this moment, seeing each other like this is really like a lifetime away. Before the boat docked, He Yi had already stretched out his hand, Jiang Chenyu hurriedly handed it over to him, and he gently carried her, half-embracing her ashore.Yi Fei at the side saw this scene in his eyes, and his eyes suddenly darkened. After she stood up, He Yi clasped his fists at Yi Fei and said, "So let's take our leave." Yi Fei smiled slightly: "It's good to go, I won't see you off." He Yi took Chen Yu into the carriage, and the carriage left the palace smoothly without encountering other obstacles. After another lightning strike, the sky began to rain heavily.Big raindrops hit the roof and walls of the car, Jiang Chenyu looked at the hazy sky, and couldn't help asking: "What time is it now?" "You don't know?" He Yi looked at her with a smile, and replied, "It's Sishi." Seeing Jiang Chenyu was stunned, he added, "The third day of June." Jiang Chenyu was surprised: "What? That is to say..." "That is to say, you entered the Third Prince's Mansion yesterday afternoon and did not return overnight. Your senior brother was worried, and it happened that I sent him to ask him for medical treatment, so he entrusted me to come and pick you up." Jiang Chenyu didn't expect that she was in a coma for one night. When she woke up just now, she thought she had only slept for two hours at most.No wonder Jiang Wanyi and the others were worried.However, he was smart enough to know to let King Yi come forward to pick him up. When he raised his eyelashes, seeing He Yi's ambiguous smile, he couldn't help being a little annoyed: "Why are you smiling like this?" He Yi coughed a few times, and said slowly: "You...do you know what you look like now?" look?what does it look like Seeing that she was at a loss, He Yi rolled his eyes and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just groped from under the seat, took out a copper tray and handed it to her. Jiang Chenyu took it inexplicably, the back of the tray was polished very smooth, just like a bronze mirror, reflecting her appearance at this time: her hair is scattered, her eyes are swollen, her lips are pale, and her clothes are full of wrinkles, she looks alive Take off the look of being ravaged, and then contact him all night without returning... Her face turned red all of a sudden, and she finally knew where He Yi's ambiguous look came from. Crack, the tray was knocked down, Jiang Chenyu raised his eyes, and looked at He Yi fixedly, He Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled at her.For some reason, his smile was clearly not teasing or joking, but she still felt guilty, and couldn't help but argue: "Things are not what you think!" "What do I think, how do you know?" "Nothing happened between me and Yi and Yifei." "I know." He Yi paused, and added, "Even though Yi Fei has a bad reputation, he is not enough to force girls into prostitution." "Then why are you laughing like that?" He Yi sighed: "I'm wronged, Miss, I've always laughed like this." Although she knew that he was telling the truth, this person did always smile ambiguously, but seeing such a smile at this moment, she couldn't help feeling glaring, she said with a downcast face: "You are not allowed to laugh anymore!" He Yi was stunned for a moment, but the smile in his eyes grew stronger. Jiang Chenyu said angrily: "Are you still laughing? You, you..." Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that there was a market outside, and immediately shouted, "Stop! Stop for me!" The carriage stopped immediately. She opened the car door and got out of the car, regardless of what He Yi thought, and rushed into one of the shops in the heavy rain. This is a cloth shop that sells silk and satin. As soon as she entered the door, a shop assistant came up to her and said, "Girl, what do you want?" As he spoke, his eyes rolled around her body. Jiang Chenyu pulled the clothes together and said, "What are you looking at? Take out all the best clothes you have here." "Yes, yes." The store clerk replied, but didn't leave, hesitatingly said, "That...girl, we pay in cash here, and we don't accept credit. Have you...brought any money?" After being reminded by him, she remembered that she had never brought any silver with her since she was envoy Cheng. When she was in distress, a lazily voice came from behind her and said, "No matter what this girl wants, I will give it to you." she." Turning around, I saw He Yi also came in at some point, leaning on the door, arms crossed, looking at her with a smile. But the shopkeeper who was lowering his head at the counter to settle the accounts looked up and saw He Yi, his complexion suddenly changed, he hurried over, lifted his robe, and was about to bow down, but was blocked by He Yi: "Since you are in another country, you can save these red tapes." "Yes." After the shopkeeper answered respectfully, he turned around and scolded the waiter, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and pick out the best clothes in the shop for this girl?" The clerk hurried into the room, and after a while, he came out with a lot of clothes, and put them in front of Jiang Chenyu flatteringly: "Miss, please take a look, is there anything you like?" Jiang Chenyu turned to look at He Yi, who raised his eyebrows at her and made a please gesture.She didn't refuse, and chose one of the sets that looked more pleasing to the eye, and went into the inner room to replace it. It was only when I had to change clothes that I realized that I had subconsciously taken a set of white gauze skirt and a light purple shirt over it.The color and style are very similar to what she wore when she went to Hongyuan to meet Ji Ying. In the bronze mirror, there is a Chu waist guard temple, crescent eyebrows and plump, which is no different from two months ago. However, the look is haggard, and the red scars on the cheeks still remain, so it is no match for the beauty of the past. Jiang Chenyu stretched out her fingers and stroked the scar lightly. Although she knew it was fake, she was a little crazy.I couldn't help thinking: I don't know how the young master is doing now?He definitely won't miss her, he just hopes that when Fei Ge brings back the news from this place, his eyes will be able to catch her name and just stay for a while. Feeling sad, the original anger and embarrassment disappeared without a trace, and an impetuous heart became low and calm again. She tied up her hair and went out, He Yi was still waiting at the door, seeing her coming out, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "This suit really suits you very well." "I'll return the silver to you when I get back to the station." "No need." He Yi smiled, "Even the most stingy businessman will occasionally give a free gift to a rare guest." "So, can you give me another umbrella?" The shop clerk next to him was very clever this time and immediately brought the umbrella. Jiang Chenyu took the umbrella, opened it, and walked out.He Yiqi said: "Aren't you ready to get in the car?" Jiang Chenyu walked past the carriage parked at the door, then turned around and smiled sweetly: "It's still early, I want to go shopping." He Yi tilted his head, showing a noncommittal expression. Jiang Chenyu walked and walked, he could hear footsteps behind him, turning around, it was He Yi again. Before she could ask, He Yi said: "I didn't follow you. You wander around as you like, while I inspect it at will." The corners of Jiang Chenyu's lips raised slightly, looking at the shops lined up on both sides of the road, she couldn't help but said: "Are you trying to say that you own these shops?" "Correct three points. One, it's not these, but this street, from the first to the last one, is mine; two, although it's mine, but I didn't open it, the owner of the shop is someone else, I'm just responsible for collecting some bonuses; three..." "three?" He Yi blinked his eyes: "Actually, I didn't intend to show off, but if you ask, if you don't answer, it will be not honest enough. So, I have to let you know how rich I am." Jiang Chenyu couldn't help smiling. "So, you might as well think about it." He Yi suddenly lowered his voice. She was a little puzzled: "Thinking about what?" "After I showed off such financial resources to you, don't you think you're not tempted at all?" Jiang Chenyu's heart skipped a beat, and then she turned her head to look at He Yi, and saw that although he still had that lazy, ambiguous smile on his face, there was a rare sincerity in his shiny black eyes. However, it was just a flash, and immediately changed to other emotions: "I'm much better than your poor and white senior brother, aren't I?" Jiang Chenyu smiled faintly, and continued walking, saying as he walked, "You clearly know that I and senior brother... don't have that kind of relationship." "Of course I know..." I don't know if it was because of the noise of the wind and rain, but He Yi's words were so erratic that it was almost inaudible. Jiang Chenyu's heart twitched again, as if being hooked by something, it gradually sank.She pursed her lips, clenched the handle of the umbrella, took a deep breath, and said again: "Your Majesty, have you guessed my identity?" There was a long silence behind her, and just when she thought He Yi would not answer, He Yi replied: "So what if you don't?" "If you guessed it, you should rein in the precipice, so as not to fall into the quagmire..." Before he finished speaking, his arm was suddenly held, and his body was forced to turn half a circle. At the same time, He Yi's other hand pressed down on her. hands, holding the handle of the umbrella together. She raised her head and saw a pair of eyes without a smile under her flying eyebrows. The pupils are deep, reflecting her shadow, so that the shadow overlaps the shadow, as if there is no end. "Xiaoyu—" he called her like this, using a title he had never used before, every word seemed to have been tempered in a furnace, and when he said it, there was a loud sound, "I heard that you went to Yifei Mansion When I don't come home overnight... I'm worried." The wind on the street suddenly picked up, and the rain was misty. Only He Yi's voice, word by word, came to my ears, so vivid—— "I was very worried, so I took the initiative to go to Yifei Mansion to find you." How amazing things are. Jiang Chenyu couldn't help but think, this person in front of him, this man, this Ninth Five-Year Lord, doesn't know who she is, how she grew up, what she has experienced, or even what she really is. However, she will like her. And she, who was only half a step away from him, seemed to be in a very far away place, watching a romantic event that had nothing to do with her—how terrifying. Being liked by others should be a very happy thing. However, she was neither excited nor moved, but only felt faint impetuosity, slight alienation, and a touch of worry. So, Jiang Chenyu opened his mouth and answered word by word with a clearer voice: "I'm married." "What?" On He Yi's face, as she expected, there was a look of astonishment. Jiang Chenyu slowly withdrew his hand from under his hand, then raised his eyes, and repeated in an unusually calm manner: "Although it sounds like a lie, it is the truth—Your Majesty, I am already a married woman." He Yi's expression underwent a series of changes, but his eyes became deeper and shone menacingly: "Then, leave him." Look, he really doesn't know who she is, to say such arrogant words... She suddenly wanted to laugh, but for some reason, the smile turned bitter when it reached her lips. "Your Majesty knows that my concubine has a husband..." Jiang Chenyu lowered her head and sighed quietly, "Your Majesty doesn't mind being the one who gives the pearl, but I can only be the one who returns the pearl..." Tightening his arms, he raised his eyes and saw He Yi's resolute expression: "No matter what kind of trouble, I can solve it." After a pause, he deepened his tone and said, "I am the emperor." This is the third time since she met He Yi, he called me the first time, when Feng Jiang Wanyi was the most beautiful woman in the world; the second time, when facing the beauty offered by Yi Fei, he said both times Be frivolous, with ridicule. Only this time, it was decisive, and the innate majesty and power of the royal family rushed to his face in an instant.Tears suddenly appeared in Jiang Chenyu's eyes—— I am the emperor... I... the emperor... Because he is an emperor, he has supreme authority, so he can do whatever he wants, so he can arbitrarily change the fate of others and trample on other people's lives!She thought of Huayue who accepted her family's arrangement to enter the palace because of her frustration in love, of Queen Xue who was exterminated and thrown into the cold palace, of Xue Cai who fell from the clouds to the mud, and of being forced into the palace but had no choice but to go. Cheng herself... the majesty of an emperor, she has learned too much... Why do these emperors think that they can have everything by virtue of their status and status? Jiang Chenyu smiled, the corners of her lips were twisted, her eyes were full of tears, but she refused to let them fall: "Yes, Your Majesty... is the emperor." Because he is an emperor, one hair can control the whole body, so he should be more concerned about the situation.If you want to steal someone's wife and make people talk about it, how can your subjects allow it? ——She thought her eyes conveyed those words very clearly, and He Yi also understood, because the resolute color on his face was slowly fading away, replaced by sad hesitation, helpless struggle, and stubborn persistence . Jiang Chenyu gently pushed away the hand he was holding on his right arm, and turned around. The sleeves were caught again. He Yi held the umbrella in front of her, and didn't say anything more. Jiang Chenyu took it and continued on, the rain was still heavy, her skirt was soaked in water, and stuck to her calves heavily, every step she took was extremely heavy, but she still walked slowly, step by step, slowly Calm is also stubbornly moving forward. What will happen to my life? The silk shoes crushed puddles and splashed a lot of water. So what if he became Zhao Yin's most important counselor? The water splashes and jumps, and a little bit of dirt wets the skirt. Can I still raise my eyebrows and have children?There are lovers who know each other, and husbands and son-in-law who feel pity for each other? The sad eyes of the mother are as if in front of her, staring fixedly. I have no regrets, this path is my own choice, no wonder others.I just... I just... Jiang Chenyu slowly raised his head, looking at the sky covered with dark clouds and heavy rain, his eyes were far away—— Yes, she has no regrets.She's just... alone. Loneliness is like a piece of clothing, draped over her body, it seems invisible on weekdays, but whenever warm feelings approach, it is like the feeling of being wet by the rain at this moment, very heavy, very heavy, pressing her, forcing her, It cannot be discarded, but can only be endured silently, waiting for the rain to stop and the air to dry. Jiang Chenyu took a deep breath towards the sky, then closed his eyes, and spit it out faintly. When he opened his eyes again, his expression had returned to the original, and as he walked forward, he said lightly: "Would you like to come out, tell me for a while talk?" In the rain curtain, a figure flashed and appeared quietly. "Why are you the only one?" The dark guard was silent for a while, then replied: "Yayoi missed and was captured by Shochiku." Jiang Chenyu frowned slightly. In fact, when Yifei said that there was a hidden guard following her, she had already thought that during the time she was unconscious, the two sides must have had conflicts. She was meditating, and the dark guard said again: "Master Don't worry, Yayoi has committed suicide by taking poison." Jiang Chenyu's hands trembled, and the umbrella tilted suddenly. She quickly held it, turned around, and looked at the hidden guard. In the bean-sized raindrops, although the man was close at hand, he couldn't see him clearly. His facial features, face, and even his figure were all blurred, and he couldn't remember it even after seeing it. My father once said that an ordinary appearance is the first choice for a dark guard, and the better the shadow, the lower the sense of presence. Therefore, after Zhao Yin assigned these two people to her, even though she had seen them several times, when recalling the appearance of the other person, her mind was still blank. The man had risked his own life to save her, and she didn't even remember what he looked like. Then when will this one in front of her have to die because of her negligence? Jiang Chenyu's heart trembled, he clenched his hand into a fist, then released it tremblingly, stretched it out, and gently put it on the opponent's shoulder: "His name is Yayoi, what about you? What's your name?" "Back to Master, I will tell Master to go." The rain was heavy, and the dark guard was drenched in the rain, motionless, but under his fingertips, there was the beating of his heart, as well as his warm body temperature.Jiang Chenyu just kept looking at him like that until he raised his head because he didn't get a response for a long time. The moment their eyes met, Jiang Chenyu said: "Then let's go, I will give you a new order - to live." The teacher walked away with a trembling gaze. "No matter what the situation is, even if you are caught by mistake, even if you are tortured to extract a confession, you will live on." After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at a pond not far away. "Live, and then, I will save you, and I will try my best to save you." Shizuo's blurred face finally revealed a look—a human look—a little bewildered, a little flustered, and a little overwhelmed, and finally, it melted into emotion. He bent his knees and knelt down: "Yes, master." There are several clusters of lotus planted beside the pond, one of which has sprouted new buds, and it will bloom after the rain.Just like at this moment, in the rain behind him, there is a person who begins to deviate from his original destiny and obtain a new life in a certain sense. In this world, everyone is lonely. All kinds, every moment. The lonely clothes are draped on everyone with its powerful posture, day after day, year after year, once the heart is fragile, it will gradually be swallowed by it. The meaning of life lies in how to obtain happiness. Even if this life has been branded with the seal of imprisonment, so what?Even if she, as the emperor's wife, can't stay with her sweetheart, so what?So what if she shoulders the heavy responsibility of the country with a weak body?So what if she has no children in the future?At this moment, she is alive, she is bathing in the rain, she breathes the universe, she is happy, angry, worried, and fearful, she exists clearly, why give up?Why give up? It is meaningful to work tirelessly for a certain purpose, and the process itself is meaningful.What's more, in the process, she can change other people, save others, and make their lives no longer dark. "My son doesn't like me, but there are others who will like me; "Can't be with other people, but be liked by them; "It seems that I have won the opportunity to get ahead for myself, but if it can really make the country prosperous and strong, the people healthy, the prosperity and peace, and the parents less worrying, then... that is the ultimate happiness. "Why should I be sad? "Now I have the first friend who can entrust my life. There will be a second, a third, and many more in the future. We can do many things together. Life is so long, why should I think about loneliness, Thinking of committing suicide, thinking of hopelessness, thinking of committing suicide? "Fate does not lie in poisonous earballs; it does not lie in the emperor's decree. "It's in my own hands." Jiang Chenyu reached out, took the poisonous bead from his left ear, and threw it viciously. The bead drew a long arc and fell into the pond with a bang. middle. Shi Zuo looked at her in surprise, and followed her like a shadow for more than a month, so he naturally knew the importance of that bead, and saw with her own eyes that she jumped into the lake to look for it, but now, she threw it away, just like that. Casually but resolutely discarded into the pond. The wind and rain blew her purple shirt and white dress and her long hair hanging down her waist. She is so slender and weak, but there is no wind in the world that can blow her down. The white brocade is fragrant without traces, and the snow of Yushu and Qiongpa is piled up. Wanhua is uneven, whoever believes in it will not be listed with Qunfang. It is clearly a pear blossom, blooming in the world. Stubborn and beautiful.
